  • You interact closely with the users of our instruments and with our software test team.
  • You transition software prototypes into a professional product.
  • You contribute to the whole software development process - requirement specification, implementation, debugging, documentation, test, support.
  • You are part of an Agile project team and communicate intensively with the other team members. You interact with colleagues from e.g. software test, hardware development, applications, service in an interdisciplinary environment.

Requirements
